Submissions

HCI Press publishes books with a focus on the cutting-edge field of high-conflict disputes in business, law/courts, family, divorce, education, government and the community. Directed primarily at professionals who deal with high-conflict disputes or people (the most difficult "difficult" people), HCI Press titles provide solutions to the increasing problem of high-conflict personalities in society.

Our imprint, Unhooked Books, focuses on books that support the goal of improving complicated relationships, whether in parenting and co-parenting, romance (dating and marriage), at work and business, and the community in general.

We value manuscripts that solve problems in a fresh, cutting-edge way. If your manuscript matches our priorities and goals, please forward the following materials via the contact form below:

2-3 paragraph summary explaining the purpose of the book and the problem it will solve

your author bio, including education, other publications, etc.
